With support from Maxine Wade.
Elaine is famous. Elaine is the worst person in the world. Elaine saw Bootsy Collins on a child's bike outside a Dominoes in Gateshead* *None of these things are true. Elaine Robertson is Delulu.
It is no wonder that Elaine Robertson gets a bit delulu.But the actual, psychosis sort that makes you think you’ve seen a funk legend on a child’s bicycle in Gateshead.
In her hit award winning Edinburgh Festival show, come see this ‘groundbreaking’ comedian take you on one of the most hilariously moving journeys you’ll ever go on.
From working in a care home during the pandemic, to being a pub singing princess impersonator, this is a stand up show that is not like any other you’ve seen.
It’s a show that leaves you feeling different to when you arrive.
